Description
AutoMeter DM-46 Tester Replacement for DM-45
The AutoMeter DM-46 Tester is the updated replacement for the AutoMeter DM-45. Designed for professional technicians, the DM-46 is a high resistance AC/DC current clamp meter used for accurate electrical testing on automotive, equipment, and service applications.
This compact clamp meter features a 23mm / 15/16″ inductive clamp that can fit around smaller wires while still being large enough for many larger wires. It is commonly used to measure computer memory draw, leakage currents, parasitic drain, and other electrical system issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the AutoMeter DM-46 replace the DM-45?
Yes. The AutoMeter DM-46 is the updated replacement for the older DM-45 model.
What is the AutoMeter DM-46 used for?
The DM-46 is used for AC/DC current testing, leakage current testing, parasitic drain diagnosis, computer memory draw testing, and general electrical system troubleshooting.
Is the DM-46 a battery tester?
The DM-46 is best described as an AC/DC current clamp meter. It can be used during electrical and charging system diagnostics, but it is not the same type of tester as a dedicated battery load tester or battery conductance tester.
What size clamp does the AutoMeter DM-46 have?
The DM-46 features a compact 23mm / 15/16″ inductive clamp designed to fit around small wires while still accommodating many larger wires.
Can the AutoMeter DM-46 test parasitic drain?
Yes. The DM-46 is commonly used to help detect low current draw and parasitic drain problems.
AutoMeter DM-46 Tester replaces the older DM-45 model. This high resistance AC/DC current clamp meter is designed for professional electrical testing, including leakage current, computer memory draw, parasitic drain, and charging system diagnostics.
